I have to say these are some of the most overprocessed HDR photos I’ve ever seen. Oh man, someone please tell the person who created the photos on these cards to ease up on the HDR throttle.

I had a VIP pass and raced to the Topps booth on Friday right at 9:30 only to find a long line already in place. Suffice to say I got a set but the person behind me was the 100th in line and got the last one of the day!

I have to say though, I was there in 2010 for the Strasburg promo and it was an unorganized mob. I’ve never been in a mosh pit but I think I know what it must feel like to move with a wave of people. This year was MUCH better. Kudos to all of the companies for running nifty promotions. Especially Historic Autographs where you got 2 Hall of Famer autos for $85!!!

Went to buy box of Platinum and then right to Topps booth. No running or pushing! I was 110th in line. It couldn’t have been 10:05am! I know the VIPs pay for that extra half hour early, but it was disappointing to run out of the Bowman Platinum sets so early in the morning. It was like the general admission folks had no shot at the Bowman Platinum set. Also bought two boxes of the new Topps Minis thinking I would get two of the 5-card promo sets that went with them, only to realize later (and hear confirmed from others) that it was only 1 promo set per person. I guess I could’ve sent my boys over and had them “buy” one. Panini was better overall except for a general sense of confusion as to the schedule and when box wars was ocurring.
